Isaiah Whitehead dominated Sunday’s Long Island Nets game vs. the cellar-dwelling Greensboro Swarm, scoring 26 points and grabbing five rebounds in 24 minutes as the Nets affiliate blew out the Hornets affiliate, 126-93.
The win was critical for the Nets who are barely in the playoff wildcard picture with three games to go, all of them on the road. Three teams in each G-League conference get wild card slots in the playoffs along with the three division winners.
As things currently stand, the Raptors 905 have clinched one of the Eastern Conference wildcards, leaving three teams —the Nets, Grand Rapids Drive and Lakeland Magic— to fight over the remaining two.
